i spent rm7, in 1U, upper middle seat smile.gif 7/10 from me, thumbs up for action, and above average storyline, but thumbs down for the almost none character development (except for Prince Caspian himself) and the plots that made no sense, maybe someone can enlighten me?

I'm going OT a bit here.

In the LOTR novel, it was mentioned that Legolas recycles his arrows by retrieving it from enemies.

if you question the logic of unlimited arrows, then maybe you shouldn't watch any fantasy themed movies like LOTR/Narnia tongue.gif

Since they don't make sense in our real world either! Where can I see a real dwarf??

Just enjoy the movie la k wink.gif

nah, i dun mind abt those stuffs, i fancy fantasy themed movies more than any other genres smile.gif
both narnia and LOTR are good, but of course we know who is the big winner when both of em are compared to each others nod.gif

Again, I think it is not fair to compare Narnia and LOTR.

LOTR's target audience are young adults and adults. Narnia's targetting tweens/teens. If you put aside the killings going on in Narnia, you can see that the way the author wrote the book - it is intended for kids ( the jokes/comments made in the storyline in brackets and etc ).

There is no way that a kid in his/her teens will be able to understand the complexity and appreciate the richness of the world in Tolkien's book but in Narnia, it's a different story. I have read both books before the movies were out and I frankly say that I enjoy both of them in their own way.

Also, most of classic children's stories (like Brothers Grimm) involve killing, mutilation, decapitation and etc etc as well. The authors back then were not as... 'child-sensitive' as the modern authors, so death and killings in those stories aren't a surprise.

i ain't comparing, and i never said that narnia is bad in comparison. as the matter of fact, i think narnia is quite good, better than the first movie
but IF reli wanna compare (as many of the forummers here did, at the beginning of the pages), LOTR suits my taste better, but that does not make Narnia bad, as i understand that the target audience are different for both books, 1 is like adult-fantasy themed while another is kids-fantasy themed
